Coaches will seek out every advantage possible. The man hours dedicated by the entire staff are staggering.

Having Grad Assistants and staff break everything down the way a coach wants to see it helps a ton. 100 hr weeks are not uncommon for young coaches. I've heard stories of HC's demanding scouting reports that are in excess of 100 pages, and if there's a grammatical error, they'll make them re-do the entire thing. And I'm talking in the days of hand-writing and type-writing. Much easier nowadays.

The paranoia has a base somewhere, as this points out.

At some point though, scheme and preparation only go so far. It comes down to can my guys beat yours. Sometimes the ball bounces funny, other times coaches game plans are spot on or way off, that's the chess match.

I'm fine with putting as little on tape in a spring game as possible. From the staff's point of view it's not about the fans, but, it's necessary for the fans to feel included.
